Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported Tuesday that the Arizona Cardinals plan to re-sign veteran running back Chris Johnson.

La Canfora added that Johnson will be brought in to add backfield depth following the wrist injury suffered by starter David Johnson in Week 1.

ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that the Cards are expected to place David Johnson on injured reserve with the possibility to return later in the season.

Johnson, 31, was part of the 53-man roster cuts of the Cardinals in September. He was limited to just 95 rushing yards in 2016 due to injury and the emergence of David Johnson.
